“…Magyarország történelmében a kezdetektől fogva meghatározó szerepet játszik a sport világa, azonban gazdasági és turisztikai alkalmazásáról igazán csak a 1990-es évek végétől kezdve beszélhetünk (Kozma et al, 2014). Az elmúlt évek során számos kiemelt sportrendezvénynek otthont adva (többek között Formula-1, EHF FINAL4, FINA'17, 2020 UEFA-szuperkupa döntő, EURO 2020(1)), Budapest és térsége mára az előkelő 18. helyet foglalja el a legnagyobb presztízzsel bíró sportnagyhatalmak rangsorában (BCW, 2021).…”

PurposeScholars have examined the relationship between sports and urban development and proposed to use sport programs and events as a catalyst to revitalize communities, upgrade urban infrastructure, promote city image, shift economic structure, nurture an active lifestyle, and enhance societal harmony and solidarity. Yet, previous studies were usually focused on mega sport events and were typically conceptual, theoretical and lack of practical applications. This study was designed to attain in-depth understanding on how a specific sport, table tennis, can be systematically organized and utilized to influence urban development through a qualitative research injury.Design/methodology/approachThis investigation was carried by conducting in-depth interviews of the executive director of the Shanghai Table Tennis Association, on-site observations and comprehensive review of literature. Development of interview questions took into consideration the conceptual framework postulated by Preuss (2007) that contains six structures of urban development through sports. Triangulation analyses were conducted to cross validate the three information sources to generate themes and assertions.FindingsWhile the identified practices were consistent with Preuss' (2007) framework, specific management activities earnestly practiced in Shanghai are centered on utilizing cultural and historical heritage, star power, branding strategies, staging tournaments, hallmark events, technical innovation and government relations to achieve the objectives of table tennis as a sport and the objectives of urban development through table tennis.Originality/valueThe findings of this study help fill the void that a theory usually cannot specify, namely, detailed, unambiguous practices. While table tennis may be a viewed as a small sport in many parts of the world, it has a strong, unprecedented historical heritage in Shanghai. This city has made a prudent choice and investment in this sport, which has proved to be effective. Other cities in the world should look into their own social, cultural and historical heritage and develop sport strategies, operations and programs accordingly.

“…In the academic field of sport management, many studies have investigated events and stadiums and their social, economic and environmental impacts on host communities. However, a majority of the researchers have not pursued these topics with an explicit focus on urban development (Kozma et al, 2014).…”

“…Whilst sport scholars have explicitly referred to urban governance (Misener and Mason, 2008; IJSMS 22,1 Silk and Andrews, 2006;Vivoni, 2009), others have not done so despite exploring issues clearly related to urban governance (Dong et al, 2020;Gerke et al, 2015;W€ asche et al, 2013;Werner et al, 2015). Jin et al (2011), Kozma et al (2014), andZhang et al (2018) have highlighted the changing role of sports in urban development. Today, city leaders have increasingly paid special attention to ensure that sport facilities be included in the local development plans.…”

PurposeAlthough both sports and cities have transformed over the last century, research on the intersection of sports and urban development remains scarce. This special issue was designed to advance a research agenda in relation to sports and urban development. The sports and urban development special issue of International Journal of Sport Marketing and Sponsorship brings together a collection of conceptual, empirical and commentary papers from four continents. Themes explored in this special issue include legacy, governance, image, climate change and sustainability. We encourage collaborative approaches between sport researchers and those with a focus on urban development, urban design and urban governance. Understanding the role of sports in the development of smart cities is an excellent opportunity for these collaborations to occur.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive review of literature was undertaken to assess the literature related to sports and urban development.FindingsIn addition to this introductory article, there are ten manuscripts selected for this special issue investigating sports and urban development.Originality/valueThis special issue seeks to promote more research on sports and urban development, ultimately ultimately advancing theories and providing solutions.
